Civilians armed with civilian weaponry cannot meaningfully stop a modern military. Civilians armed with military weaponry can't stop one either, because civilians can't afford military weaponry. In the event that several nations enter into a suicide pact by trying to invade us (because it will shatter the world economy), somehow get an invasion force across the ocean while facing a military stronger than the next 14 nations combined (plus several of those nations, as our allies), and take over? Your guns will do nothing.
Nothing?!? Seriously?? Ever heard of Guerrilla Warfare? No invading Nation(s) would fare well against the U.S.A. They could come over the North Pole thru Canada if they needed. They, too, would suffer in return, and with what weaponry Militias have, they could still pack a punch in return. (and NO knucklehead Militias are NOT dead..far from it...I know from my work in Government that they are alive and well). And you'd be shocked out of your Liberal shell to see
just how much Military grade weaponry 'Civilians'
already have! Americans by nature, love to fight. But you wouldn't know that, since you've no military experience. An armed people keeps the Government in-check too. Be a shame if Obama got
too much power by peeling and chipping away at our Constitutional Rights until they are all but gone and we're all un-armed. I swore to protect the Constitution, and I believe in the 2nd Amendment along with the entire Constitution. Even in my work, I believe totally in that right.
